But today, October 29, is the official day: The 8th annual National Cat Day. Activist Colleen Paigefounded the holidayin 2005 to raise awareness for pet adoption and to honor that little ball of fur that rules your world.

Cat Day "encourages cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us," the website explains. (Get more information on adoption here.)
